Great comparison shave Sig, I also have an Muhle R41GS and love it, the iconic R41 in stainless steel, what's not to like! Keep your video shaves coming, you light up my weekend! Paul.
Thank you very much! As always I value the comments, advice and support!! The GS is a wondeful razor! You can get a great shave and a work-out using it!! :O) Have a great wknd and Stay Safe!! 🤙
Thanks, Buddy! I hear you!! I was kind of of awestruck before making this comparison. However they are great razors if they are treated with respect and you stay in focus. I love them both! Thanks for watching! Have a great week and Stay Safe! 🤙 #WAD
I ran across this old video after looking for videos of the R41. I was curious if there was any difference between the R41 and the R41 Twist in terms of aggression. I contacted Muhle a year or so for information about the R41 blade gap and exposure. But Munle informed me that they don't release that information. I found that a bit curious because other safety razor manufacturers do release those specs. If you have any information about that I'd appreciate knowing. Nice comparison shave, Sig!
@@BartBuzz Thanks, Buddy! It has unfortunately become common to not release the gaps and exposure: Merkur, Mühle, Rockwell, Blackland, Focus, Rocnel (to mention a few) don't reveal their gaps or exposure. I don't have any official info but remember that Above The Tie had a a chart with all the most common razors' gaps measured and compared... Not sure if it still available... Have a great Sunday! 🤙 #WAD
@@SIGSOLO That's interesting. However, you can still get blade gap info for the Rockwell 6S on their website. But not for their adjustable T2. Although from what I learned in reviews, the T2 is a bit more aggressive. I don't know if that's because of blade exposure or some other geometry differences?
@@SIGSOLO PS: I also found this on the web. Is this your experience as well? "No, the redesigned Muhle R41 is less aggressive than the R41 Twist: Muhle R41 Twist: A heavier, more aggressive safety razor that some say gives a super close shave. Redesigned Muhle R41: A less aggressive safety razor with a redesigned open comb safety bar."
I have the regular R-41 and bought an 85MM stainless steel bulldog handle to give it some more weight. The added weight makes this for me the perfect razor. I'm still going to get GS version. Thanks for the comparison shave.
I just received and shaved with the R41GS for the first time. I found it to be more aggressive than the original. If you look at the base plates of both razors, there is a subtle difference in the teeth. I believe that is why I found it to be slightly more aggressive than the original R41. For me, both R41's are 1 pass and touch up razors. I now have 3 R41 razors. The GS, the original and the Twist.
It's a great razor, and I like it a lot!! I just the weight and balance of it!! I have the Twist the GS and the R102. Unless a have a very long beard I also do 1 1/2 pass and maybe a little pick by the jaw line... Have a great 4th of July And Stay Safe!!
Thanks to all your videos on the R41 GS, I got one off BST today. Now you have me wanting an R41 twist as well. Thank you for being such a compelling enabler! Great boar brush and a bit underrated according to me in favor of many other brands. Love Omega boar brushes. Thanks for the lovely compare video. Have a good day !
Thank you, Buddy!! I'm very pleased and humbled that you like my vid and that you found them useful.🙌 The R41 GS is one the best razors in my den when I want a fast and close shave! R41 Twist was the first of my R41's And I love the size of if and the shave it gives, also. I also love the R89 Twist and I always bring it when I travel! The Omega Boar brushes are some of the best Boars and the best value for money at the same time! Thanks for watching! Have a great week to come! And Stay Safe! 🤙 #WAD
Great comparison Sig👍 Great 2 pass shave👍👍 I am tempted but I will wait a while before making the plunge. I have some big expenditure items coming up. You would never know you have only been doing this for 6 months my friend😎
Thank you, Buddy! It’s a great shave! It demands focus and concentration but the reward is great! And thank you! I do my best to learn and adapt! I passed the 4 mths mark as a content maker in the midweek... I’ll start doing a Tuesday shaves from next week, when I have something intereting or new to use/present... ‘Tiny Tuesday Try-out’ they will be called... Have a great wknd and stay safe!! 🤙
Nice shave and comparison Sig between the razors. I don't that those two are for me because of the aggressive shave they provide. Have a wonderful day.
Thank you, Buddy! They are both great razors, but they require focus and concentration or they’ll bite. If I take my time I can almost get away with a one-pass shave, which is rare for me. The skin is feeling fine afterwards. However if I (even thogh I don’t need to) did a three pass shave I’m sure my skin would disagree and I might get a little red-ness or burn. But they are great if you take it slow a let them do their thing! Have a great week! And Stay Safe!! 🤙
Thank you very much!! I might have mumbled or misspoken. The GS is 114g. Very heavy and much heavier than the chrome Grande or Grande twist... I love mine!! Have a great wknd! And Stay Safe!! 🤙
Thank you very much!! I love the razor. But I need to focus and concentrate when I use it. It'll bite if I don't respect it. The GS is stunning!! Have a great week!! and Stay Safe!! 🤙
Thank you, very much! The closest to the DE89 in steel would be the 3one6; but tht feels more aggressive to me... Great razor, though. Or a R89 in SS. I'd jump on that in a heartbeat!! Have great weekend and Stay Safe!! 🤙
So, we have gotten to see how you react when Santa Claus brings you everything you asked for! :D And no cuts this time!! Then again even a broken clock is correct twice a day.. :D I am very happy for you and pleased that things worked out 100% in your favor this time around. This is an uncharacteristically short response which is probably even more icing for the cake... :D Ciao

Hey Sig...great 👍 Focus Shave #7. Nice looking 👌 new hardware. Proraso White pre-shave, soap, and post-shave was what I used for my 1st DE shave. How does your new R41 GS compare to Karve CB? Take Care and Stay Safe.
Thank you very much, Brother!! The Proraso line is the work horse of the industry (like Geo always says about the Merkur 34C). The new GS is feels a lot heavier than the Karve SS. The new copper Karve (which I finally got on Thursday) is similar in weight. The Karve has less blade feel and is for my skin, beard aso aso much more aggressive/efficient. I only have one shave with the GS, so I'll have to give it some more go's, to fully compare them. But I will say this: The Karve is for everybody (given the base plate choices) while the GS is not a beginner's razor and maybe not for everybody's YMMV... I happy I got it, though. It's an amazing looking and feeling razor... Have a great wknd and Stay Safe!! 🤙
@@SIGSOLO Man...glad you got the copper Karve CB...those bad boys sold out extremely fast. You are one of the few that bagged them. I ordered this week HSSC "Reflections" pre-shave, soap, and post-shave. My last soap purchase for a while. Famous last words 😃 🙂

Great comparison shave! The R41 will let you know real quick if you made a mistake, there’s no margin for error with that razor, I use milder blades in mine to tame it a bit. Have a great weekend my man and stay safe!
Thank you my friend!! It takes focus and concentration. But gives a wonderful shave!! Yes, a blade-down is a very clever move with this razor!! Personna Red 4th use was perfect for this shave!! Funny note: I published my vid 2 hrs before Geofatboy published his review. Hehe... Have a great wknd and Stay Safe!! 🤙
@@SIGSOLO you’re welcome! Yeah, even with a milder blade I still get an ok shave with the R41.... I definitely have better shaving razors though, and it isn’t one I can use daily. I saw GeoFatboy used the same razor today!! You’re razor twins.

Im so sorry you were so nervous. I dont know why people over hype that razor and make it sound so scary. The first time i used it i automatically loved it. Its not even that efficient for me i think the yaqi monster is better but even that i find mild. I have average sensitive skin so the more efficient or aggressive the razor is the better as i have to do less passes and less buffing. I never got nicked by it.
